DISNEY COLLEGE PROGRAM - A Spring 2013 Adventure! *COMPLETE* 11/20

Great podcast!!

Jess, loved the necklace you wore, where did you get it?
 

Jess, I love this trip report and you were great on the video podcast!!

I related to so much of what you were all talking about. I, too, did the College Program! I kept agreeing out loud with everything Corey said. I was there Fall '97. I worked Attractions at MGM. Backstage Pass to 101 Dalmatians! Yep, we're old school. My interview was also on campus, with about five or six other people. We got welcome letters instead of emails and I will never ever forget where I was when I opened that envelope!

I grew up going to Disney as well, my trips started as a baby and the only year I've missed since is the year I got married! which was followed the next year with a big belated Dismoon!!

I lived in Vista Way, it was our only option! And our shuttle buses were awful! The girls I lived with and people I worked with at MGM Studios are still some of my best friends to this day.

I kept my status up for awhile, went back and worked over holidays. And very much like you, Disney never seemed any less magical to me! (And still doesn't, by the way!)

Keep believing in that Disney magic, girl!!! And best of luck to you!!!
 
Just watched the podcast. You came across as a very natural and appealing screen presence.

Yes Mark..you were!!! My daughter kept asking when we would see Mr Mark again on the rest of that trip :) It was such a fun coincidence too because I had been following this report every night in that trip so it was awesome running into the two of you..in the Emporium! Are you home now? Withdraws? I keep telling my husband that working at Disney is my "retirement dream" HaHa!!

I totally remember meeting you! I just wasn't sure what your dis name was!! That was great!! I am home now... Well not at this moment as I am on a trip to Disneyland... And I Will be visiting disney very often during the coming months :)

And if that's what you want to do! Do it!! I know a lot of character attendants that did that! It's super fun!! Good luck!!
 
Watching now, you look and sound great, Jess! The more I read and watch, the more I'm kicking myself for not doing the college program. :( I remember seeing the flyers around campus but was already going to be doing an extra year in college and knew my dad would kill me if I did 5.5 years instead :( Yes, I'm 32 and seriously jealous :)
 
Mark, does this mean you will be back to work or for play? I hope for play :) We just booked our February trip and I could not be more excited!
 
Jess, you were amazing in the podcast! Such a natural. It's breathtaking to look at pg. 1 of this DCP report and see all that you have accomplished already. As your DCP comes to a close, I hope more wonderful and rewarding surprises open up to you as you continue your journey with Disney!pixiedust:
 
Hi Jess! I love all of your trip reports, especially this one. My daughter and I watched the podcast and loved hearing all about the DCP. Great job! :thumbsup2
